The odds of the other person getting a card they want doesn’t necessarily change, so why does it effect anybody when a player doesn’t play by the chart

Simple answer: it doesnt.
I go to the casino a fair amount but wouldn’t consider myself a blackjack expert by any means, but it’s one of the only table games I play and I know the correct* plays in 99% of scenarios.
Blackjack players love to blame losses on another player misplaying, even though the random chance could hurt or help them. For example:
I have 13 and the dealer has a 5 showing. I should stay and allow the dealer to take a 10 (assuming they have 15 with the 5 showing). But lets say that I take a hit, bust, and the dealer takes a 5, the table will likely lose and it will be seen as my fault. However, I could have just as easily taken the 5 and given the dealer the bust card. Additionally, I’m assuming the dealer has 15 with the 5 showing, but how do I know they don’t have a 6 down instead of a 10 and now the 5 is going to help them bust?
There are small ways it could throw off people that were really card counting, but it’s mostly about smug blackjack players
